We spend endless hours in buses ,trains , planes , waiting rooms. Our reality is composed of constantly changing places and faces. While waiting for the evening performance to come, we roam the streets of yet another city, eating in yet another restaurant or lying in bed in yet another hotel room. After some time, being subjected to all this landscapes, all this information, creates a desire to capture it. Is this desire an attempt to stop this quickly passing time, preserve memories, keep track of people and things passing by in this ever changing landscape ? Or is it that by seeing the differences between this place and the one we will visit tomorrow, we slowly become more curios of the surroundings ?
One way or the other I'm lugging my camera around, everyday and everywhere. Taking pictures of this and that, some of them better then others. I end up with thousands of them. But it seems so accidental, so unfocused, sometimes chaotic.
Perhaps if we look at this same world but through a specific task, subject, with a specific fame of mind, perhaps it will organize and focus this act of snapping pictures.
Perhaps we can challenge each other, inspire to look at the subjects differently, push the creativity in order to frame all those frames a little.

hello, i would like to give my vote to the black and white photo of the clock that shows twelve o'clock, with the river or sea behind and in the other side what could be a city.... well you know which one no?
I decided this because i think we have to be a bit classic in the beginning and that picture shows the best relation between the concept you are dealing with and a kind of esthetic view, yeah
hey there,
I take the train station. There is no beginning with out an ending, no ending with out a new start. Lots of luck for you guys.
